Chapter 451 Family Changes

In the past ten years, the entire Song family has developed very quickly. Now the Song family has more than 120 cultivators and more than 100,000 mortals. The foundation in this regard is not much lower than that of other old foundation-building families.

The increase in family cultivators and mortals will naturally bring a great burden. For this reason, Song Qingming and many elders of the Song family have spent a lot of effort in recent years to find more ways to earn spirit stones for the family.

In addition to the income from the original market shops and several mines, the Song family has also spent a lot of energy in recent years to learn from other old immortal cultivation families and invested a lot of spirit stones in cultivating spirit veins and opening new spiritual fields.

Nowadays, there are many more immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County than before, and the income of the market shops in Qinghefang has also dropped a lot. Sometimes, due to the turbulent situation in the surrounding area, the business is not good, and the family needs to take out some spirit stones to subsidize.

Compared with the income from mines, which will sooner or later be eaten up, the cultivated and opened spirit veins and spiritual fields are assets that the family can inherit forever, and these are also the biggest guarantee for them to maintain the stability of the family in the future.

In addition to these, the Song family has also undergone great changes in other aspects in recent years.

The Song family now has four foundation-building cultivators, including Huang Siyuan. In Qinghe County, their strength has surpassed that of the Huang and Gao families. In recent years, some new Qi-refining families have moved to the vicinity of Funiushan Mountain and become vassal families of the Song family.

These vassal families will also take the initiative to hand over some spiritual objects to Funiushan Mountain every year in exchange for the Song family's protection. This can also provide a considerable income for the Song family every year.

The rules of the immortal world are like this. The relationship between the strong and the weak is more about interests. If the Qi-refining family wants to get the protection of the foundation-building family, it must hand over some spiritual objects in exchange.

Similarly, if a foundation-building family like the Song family wants to survive safely in Weiguo controlled by Xiaoyao Sect, it must abide by the rules of Xiaoyao Sect. No matter what high-level mineral veins are found in your territory, or high-level spiritual objects needed by other sects, they must first report and hand them over to Xiaoyao Sect.

Just like when the Wang family of Fengtou Mountain discovered the rare Gengjin ore vein, neither the Wang family nor the Song family dared to covet such a large amount of wealth, and could only report it to Xiaoyao Sect and wait for the sect to send people to deal with it.

Although Xiaoyao Sect also gave the Song family and the Wang family some shares of the ore vein afterwards, compared with the original value of the Gengjin ore vein, this is a tiny profit.

Not only that, Xiaoyao Sect will also occupy most of the profits in almost all the markets in Weiguo. Because of the control of these cultivation resources, the major immortal cultivators in Weiguo can only continue to supply talents to Xiaoyao Sect for their own survival and development.

In addition to Song Xinyu, the Song family has sent several people with better spiritual roots to join Xiaoyao Sect in recent years. Song Qingming also wants to keep them in the family, but if they are forced to stay, the Song family will not be able to provide foundation-building pills to everyone in the future.

Rather than watching them end up like those family elders, it is better to send them to Xiaoyao Sect so that they will have a chance to build their foundation in the future.

Moreover, the Song family now has Song Xinyu, a foundation-building elder in Xiaoyao Sect. After these children join the sect, they can be regarded as having a relatively stable backer, and their lives will not be too difficult.

In addition, the Song family has also developed a new way to earn spiritual stones in recent years, which is brewing spiritual wine.

After Fu Sanshan, who was accidentally rescued by Song Qingming, bought the spiritual wine formula from him, the Song family began to arrange for the cultivators in the family to learn the winemaking skills and try to brew spiritual wine by themselves.

In recent years, Fu Sanshan has stayed in Funiu Mountain. With the better resources and conditions of the Song family, he has really improved several spiritual wines with better quality.

Although Fu Sanshan's research on brewing spiritual wine in the Song family also consumed a lot of spiritual stone materials, the spiritual wine formula he developed soon brought the Song family a business that can be operated for a long time after it was put into mass production.

Although there are many immortal cultivation families in Qinghe County who have the skills to brew wine, the quality of the wine they brew is not high. After Fu Sanshan modified the original formula, the wine he brewed now is better in both taste and quality, and soon opened up the market in Qinghefang.

Now the Song family has opened a tavern in Qinghefang to sell these self-brewed wines, and the tavern business is very good, which can create hundreds of spiritual stones of profit for the family every year.

Even Song Qingming himself did not expect that a Qi-refining casual cultivator who was accidentally rescued back then could bring such a huge profit to the Song family now.

In order to keep Fu Sanshan, the Song family also spent a lot of effort. Not only did they let him serve as a guest elder of the Song family, but they also gave him a higher salary every year than other elders. Family elders such as Song Xintong are now planning to arrange a marriage for Fu Sanshan and let him directly marry into the Song family.

After talking about Song Xinde, Song Qingyu said to Song Qingming, "News came from Xintang in Qinghefang. The Lu family and the Li family had another conflict half a month ago. The cultivators of both sides fought near the Zhong family in Pingliang Mountain. It is said that there were casualties. It seems that this matter is getting bigger and bigger."

"Didn't we make peace with them at the Qinghefang meeting last year? Why are they fighting again?" Song Qingming looked a little helpless when he heard Song Qingyu talking about this.

In the past ten years, in addition to the steady development of the Song family, many changes have also taken place in other immortal cultivation families and various forces in Qinghe County.

The biggest change is that less than five years have passed since Song Yuanli of the Song family built his foundation, and another person in Qinghe County has successfully built his foundation. What is a bit surprising is that this person who built his foundation is not from the original four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County.

The person who successfully built his foundation is called Li Chengyue. He is a cultivator from a vassal family of the Li surname under the Lu family of Tiexian Mountain. Like the Song family back then, the Li family quickly promoted from a Qi-refining family to a new foundation-building immortal family after Li Chengyue built his foundation.

The four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County have now increased to five.

Among the major foundation-building families in Qinghe County, the Lu family of Tiexian Mountain has always had a bad reputation for their style of doing things, and they are naturally very harsh to their vassal families. When the Li family was a vassal of the Lu family, they were naturally suppressed by the Lu family.

After the Li family was promoted to a foundation-building family, they did not continue to maintain a good relationship with the Lu family like the Song family and the Huang family did in the past, but the two families soon turned against each other because of some peripheral interests.

Li Chengyue, the newly promoted foundation-building cultivator of the Li family, is also a cultivator who has successfully built his foundation without using the foundation-building pill, just like Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming's friend in the past.

Like Li Chengyue, a cultivator who has successfully built his foundation without using the foundation-building pill, his cultivation and mana will be stronger than that of ordinary cultivators of the same level. After the Li family had this foundation-building ancestor, it developed very quickly like the rising sun, and naturally soon did not take the Lu family, which was already on the decline, seriously.

In the past few years, the Li family not only took a mine from the Lu family, but also poached several vassal families from the Lu family, which completely angered the Lu family. The two families have had several conflicts.

Last year, Lu Xingde, the ancestor of the Lu family, fought with Li Chengyue outside Qinghefang for this reason. It was not until the other major foundation-building families came forward to mediate and persuade that the two families temporarily stopped fighting.

Now, not long after, the Lu and Li families fought again. When Song Qingming heard about this, he shook his head helplessly.

It’s not that Song Qingming wants to get involved in the affairs of the two families, but the two major foundation-building families have been fighting so much that the situation in Qinghe County has become turbulent, and the business of Qinghefang has been affected a lot. Naturally, the Song family does not want this situation to continue.

Seeing Song Qingming frowning again, Song Qingyu also said helplessly: "The feud between the Lu family and the Li family is not just one or two days. Now the two sides have fought several times and many cultivators have been killed and injured. It is indeed not an easy thing for the two families to just give up and make peace.

I think that you, Seventh Brother, have done your best to negotiate for them last time. This matter should actually be a headache for Feng De, and we don't have to worry about it for him all the time."

Song Qingming sighed, shook his head and said: "They are all cultivators in Qinghe County, and there is no need to make such a fuss. Qingyu, write a letter to Yuan Li and ask him to go to Feng De to discuss it again and see if he can invite the Lu and Li families to Qinghefang to sit down and talk again.

Now that the monster turmoil in the northern border is approaching, the situation It is getting more and more tense. We still need to make some preparations early. You talk to Xintang and ask him to pay more attention to those outsiders from now on to prevent those bandits from sneaking into Qinghe County again. "

"Seventh brother, don't worry, Xintang has already considered this aspect. He told me about this in his last letter. With him watching in Qinghefang, there will definitely not be any big mistakes."

Song Qingming nodded and said, "Well! It's good that he can think of it. This kid is careful in doing things. We did the right thing by transferring him to Qinghefang!"

Song Qingtang has not been able to get over the failure of building his foundation. A few years ago, at the suggestion of Song Qingyu and others, Song Qingming transferred him to Qinghefang and took over the work of collecting intelligence for the family from Song Xinhu.

After going to Qinghefang, because of the change of environment, he did not have to face too many familiar clansmen every day. Now Song Xintang has slowly come out of the shadow of the failure of building his foundation.

Song Xintang's ability to do things is outstanding among the new generation of cultivators. Since he was placed in Qinghefang, Song Xintang took over the responsibility of secretly doing things for the Song family and collecting intelligence, and soon he did it well.

Now Song Xintang's subordinates have networked a lot of peripheral cultivators who secretly do things for the Song family. Compared with other foundation-building families, the Song family has finally made great improvements in collecting intelligence.
